SARASOTA, Fla. (February 16, 2026) – Northwestern senior Dianna Lee claimed her second victory of the season, her third of her career, as the Wildcats swept the competition at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational.
The 'Cats saved their best for last, firing a four-under 284 in their final round to pace the team competition. Northwestern finished with a 54-hole team score of 884 (294-306-284), four shots clear of Oklahoma (299-303-286=888), who finished in second.
Lee finished her week as the only player to come in at even-par or better across all three rounds, closing the event at four-under. After posting matching rounds of 72 on day one, Lee carded a bogey-free four-under 68 to claim victory by three strokes.
Joining Lee in the top-25 were the trio of Megan Meng, Hsin Tai Lin and Ashley Yun. Meng placed in 17th after carding a one-over 73 for her tournament-low score in her final round, while Tai Lin matched that 73 in her closing round to place in a share of 19th. Yun slotted in a share of 23rd after firing a two-under 70 to finish her week.
Rounding out the starting lineup was Jiayi Wang, who placed in 81st, while Lauren E. Lee shared 79th as an individual.
